Antoine Brumel (c.1460 - c.1515) Missa de Beata Virgine Label: Naxos, 8.570535 Year: 2008 Performer: Speculum Ensemble Antoine Brumel was among the most distinguished composers of his time, the first great French rather than Flemish Renaissance composer. He served as master of choristers at Notre Dame in Paris and then was employed at the d’Este court in Ferrara, where he succeeded Obrecht. After the disbandment of the court chapel Brumel may have spent time in Rome, where it is thought his Missa de Beata Virgine, his most famous composition, may have been written. Brumel's Masses are his most famous works, so much so that in 1503 Petrucci published a whole volume of them. The Missa de Beata Virgine, his last work and one of the best, appears in the first edition of Liber quindecim missarum (Rome, 1516) by Andrea Antico, a marvellous volume with large pages of a size that was not common at the time (28.8 x 42.8 cm). There may, however, be a previous print dated 1515 (Missarum decem ... libri published by Petrucci): the volumes contain both the Brumel and Josquin Desprez De Beata Virgine Masses. As it seems that these works were of great interest to his contemporaries, the volumes were probably published in great haste, so they must have been written around 1513 or 1514. What Glareano observed seems to confirm that: he wrote that the Masses must have been composed when the musicians were "both getting old". Glareano was clearly not indifferent to Brumel's ability as a composer and described him as "deserving of being listed amongst the great polyphonists, but his greatest merit was due more to diligence and technique rather than to natural talent. His Missa de Beata Virgine is worthy of mention and worthy of a great man [...]". The whole of the Missa de Beata Virgine is based on the Medici edition of Missa IX (Cum jubilo), and is a magnificent example of a paraphrase Mass, a compositional technique that reuses the original plainchant both in the cantus firmi, if any, and in the more ornamented counterpoint, until it permeates into the shortest melodic fragments in all the voices. This penetration is undoubtedly essential to giving such a vast score an indissolubly unitary character. Tracklist: 01. Ave, ancilla Trinitatis Missa de beata virgine 02. Kyrie 03. Gloria 04. Credo 05. Sanctus 06. Agnus Dei 07. Mater patris et filia 08. Ave virgo gloriosa   LOG
